My rankings use a Corsi-based rating system that I created, with the average rating 100 both offensively (OR) and defensively (DR). This rating is determined by factoring in Corsi, scoring chances, high danger chances, shooting percentage and save percentage. With the current rosters I have loaded, the Offense Rating (OR) ranges from a best of 120.1 (TOR) to a worst of 90.1 (DET), and the Defense Rating (DR) ranges from a best of 93.2 (BOS) to a worst of 110.3 (OTT). These numbers will change daily with line changes, injuries and player call-ups.
